"I refuse to say the sky is falling," declared Sony chairman Amy Pascal, when I asked her about the grim summer box office so far. She was observing the Sony 3D show-and-tell Wednesday on the Sony lot. Clearly, not only is the studio earmarking a number of 3D features for 2010 and beyond–including Resident Evil Afterlife in 2011 and Spider-Man 4 and Men in Black III for 2012 (Will Smith putting on his shades takes on a new meaning), but the entire corporation is moving aggressively into the 3D space both at home (PS3, 3D games, Bravia HD 3D televisions, Blu-Ray 3D devices) and in theaters (see videos below and Sony News).
Sony America CEO Sir Howard Stringer hosted the event on the old MGM studio's Stage 8, as the press corps sat on white vinyl sofas and donned their 3-D glasses. "Creation, distribution and display," are Sony's catch-words as they hawk their content, games, and stereoscopic equipment. "We're blazing a trail in every part of the 3D universe," said Stringer, who also praised Sony's 3D technology center which aims to educate and inform filmmakers on the best use of 3D tools. Stringer stressed that Sony was pushing "high quality," "immersive" 3D. Not that "jarring," "mediocre" after-the-fact stuff. (They did the honors on Alice in Wonderland.) Sony plans to spend $100 million marketing this 3D effort, with 6000 retail displays reaching 200,000 consumers; they will also hit social media. A 3D Playstation games and sports spot featuring Peyton Manning and Justin Timberlake will air during World Cup matches.
And Sony Imageworks has been playing in the digital visual effects playpen for some time, from Bob Zemeckis's Polar Express to Monster House. On the hardware side, Sony cameras and 4K projectors are shooting and displaying 3D images. The SXRD 4K projector is on 2000 screens now in North America; they eventually expect 11,000. As HD TVs continue rolling out, the Bravia 3D TV will be available in Sony Style stores and online for $2000 for a 40-inch and $3000 for a 60 inch set. It includes a transmitter and two pairs of glasses.
While it's no surprise that Sony is selling Bravia 3D televisions (will people want to wear the active shutter glasses?). immersive 3D games for the PlayStation 3 or making more 3D movies, I was blown away by the quality of the sports imagery they're going to show on ESPN 3D, which launches with the World Cup Mexico South Africa soccer match on Friday at 6:30 AM PT, which thanks to ATT, Direct TV and Comcast will have 40 million available subscribers at launch.
While skateboarding, basketball and baseball looked great, I was especially taken with the golf–you felt like you were there on the green, with birds singing, the hushed crowd, Phil Mikkelson rolling his hole in one, right atcha. Sony also announced Discovery Channel CEO Tom Cosgrove as new president and CEO of the new 3D Channel combine from Discovery, Sony and IMAX, the first 24/7 3D channel. Sure enough, they showed us stunning Discovery 3D ocean shots of eels swimming into the frame, schools of fish, floating sea horses, leaping dolphins and close-up shark snouts. The car racing and concert footage was also impressive.
And Sony Pictures Chairman Michael Lynton announced that animated Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs will be the studio's first 3D Blu-Ray, released June 22. Lynton expects 30 or more 3D pics industrywide in 2011 to be shown on some 14,000 screens– and more like 23,000 screens by 2012. Sony promises that what PS3 did for Blu-Ray, it will now do for 3D, because PS3 users are early adopters and voracious technophiles. Folks who buy the Bravia 3D TV will get vouchers for stereoscopic 3D games.
As guys settled into sofas on adjoining Stage 7 to try out 3D games, it hit me that this is the last thing the movie business needs: immersive 3D games and home entertainment on fancy screens on top of all the other competition for viewer attention. Big 3D event movies were keeping Hollywood rolling in green–and they're all banking on more 3D. The Sony demo made me want to go home to my PS3: it streams music, plays Blu-Rays, downloads TV and movies (via Netflix streaming), and will now play 20 stereoscopic games such as Super Stardust–not to mention 3D Motion Control for the Playstation Move. No question Sony will own the 3D space. But are pokey old movie theaters going to be left behind?
Here's Sony's in-house behind-the-scenes video of the launch, while mine are below:
The show and tell:
The Sony technology center:
Meanwhile the Academy is staging three 3D events. See the release below.
Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will devote three Tuesday evenings – June 22 and 29, and July 6 – to exploring 3D techniques and their rapidly expanding use in filmmaking in "Getting Perspective III: Exploring the Craft of 3D Movie Technology." The series will feature conversations with filmmakers, 3D demonstrations and movie clips, culminating with a screening of "U2 3D," the Irish rock band's 2008 concert movie.
The following are descriptions of each night's focus:
Virtual 3D (Animation/Motion-Capture/Conversion) Tuesday, June 22, 8 p.m. at the Linwood Dunn Theater, Hollywood This evening will showcase movies in which the 3D experience is created using digital techniques. The program will highlight CG key-frame animation, performance capture and 2D-to-3D conversion. These techniques will be explored in onstage conversations with director Hoyt Yeatman ("G-Force"), visual effects producer Matt DeJohn ("G-Force") and stereoscopic supervisor Phil McNally ("Monsters vs Aliens").
Photographed 3D (Live Action/Stop-Motion) Tuesday, June 29, 8 p.m. at the Linwood Dunn Theater, Hollywood Live-action narrative, documentary and stop-motion animated techniques will be examined as well as the post-production tools used to finish a modern 3D movie. Science and Technology Council member Rob Hummel, director Eric Brevig ("Journey to the Center of the Earth"), director of photography Pete Kozachik ("Coraline") and stereoscopic engineer Pierre (Pete) Routhier ("X Games 3D: The Movie") will discuss the challenges of working in 3D and the future of live-action stereoscopic filmmaking.
"U2 3D" (2008) Tuesday, July 6, 8 p.m. at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater, Beverly Hills The final night of the series will feature a screening of the concert movie "U2 3D." The digital live-action 3D motion picture captures the band in Latin America during its "Vertigo" tour in 2006. The documentary's director, Catherine Owens, will be joined by director of 3D photography Peter Anderson and editor Olivier Wicki to discuss the movie.
Presented by the Academy's Science and Technology Council, "Getting Perspective III" will be hosted by Academy member Rob Engle, senior stereographer and 3D visual effects supervisor at Sony Imageworks. He has served as stereographer on and supervised the 3D releases of numerous movies, including "The Polar Express" (2004), "Beowulf" (2007), "G-Force" (2009) and the Academy Award®-nominated animated feature "Monster House" (2006).
Tickets for each night of "Getting Perspective III: Exploring the Craft of 3D Movie Technology" are $5 for the general public and $3 for Academy members and students with a valid ID.

The Church of Laodicea Pt. 2
Finally, I am getting around to writing the second part of John's letter to the church in Laodicea found in Revelation 3: 14-22. Here is what the Apostle had to write:
14 And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God's creation.
15 'I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! 16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. 17 For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. 19 Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. 21 The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'
In part one, I addressed verses 15 and 16 and explained that being a luke warm Christian is not an option. In this part, I will focus on verse 17. So, let's get into it.
Verse 17 starts by highlighting the mindset of the common Laodicean. John writes that the Laodiceans say they are rich, they have prospered, and they do not need anything. This mindset may have stemmed from their cities self-sufficiency. This is what the ESV Bible's commentary had to say about this:
Damaged by an earthquake in a.d. 60, self-sufficient Laodicea, a commercial center and site of thriving medical and textile industries, declined imperial disaster relief. The city did not see itself as "poor, blind, and naked" (v. 17), nor did the complacent church within it.
When the earthquake hit, the city declined help from the empire. They didn't see themselves as needing aid. They were a tough people and they got back on their feet on their own. This is one example of why John writes that they saw themselves as not needing anything. With that background in mind, we move to the later half of verse 17 where John writes this:
…not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.
John strikes at the heart of the Laodicean's problem with this statement. The church sees themselves as strong, but they fail to see their weakness. This is the root-cause for their lukewarmness. If you see yourself as self-sufficient and not needing anything then why do you need God? When you have a mindset like the Laodiceans, you make God just something that you can pick up or leave behind, instead of something that you need. When you don't see the depth of your sin, you fail to see the depth of God's love. When you fail to see that God provides for you, you fail to see that you are poor, blind, and naked. Just like the Laodiceans, this problem has plagued the western church.
We think that because we have technology, we have all the answers. We think because we have made amazing medical advances, we don't need God's sustaining power. So, the Laodicean problem still remains…we don't realize that we are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.
When we fail to recognize our sin, we fail to recognize our need for God's grace.
Thanks for reading.

The Panthers started the second half of the season with their captain back on the ice after being denied his services for almost a year.
Jovanovski didn't make the scoresheet, but celebrated Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over visiting Nashville as if he scored each of the goals himself.
The Panthers feted their captain with a closed-door celebration following the game. Jovanovski, who played 15:54, received the hero hat from his teammates.
"It was nice to celebrate a goal," said Jovanovski, who had been out since having hip resurfacing surgery last spring. Jovanovski was on the ice for three of Florida's four regulation goals
"I got a little antsy there, jumped around in warmups," he said. "It was nice to get the first shift out of the way, move the puck a little. It was good to move on from there."
The Panthers will need plenty more wins in the final 40 games if they hope to play any role in the postseason chase. After closing to within four points of Toronto for the final playoff spot last month, the Panthers have fallen back.
Florida came into Saturday's game 10 points back of Detroit for the last slot.
On Saturday, Florida went the long way to victory after taking a 4-2 lead early in the third. Nashville scored twice within the final 4:08 yet its shootout struggles continue as Florida won it in the sixth round via Tomas Kopecky.
"It wasn't pretty but it felt pretty good,"' said interim coach Peter Horachek, who spent the past decade as an assistant in Nashville before being fired after last season.
"You want to beat your former team and they're all friends over there. The main thing is we need to keep moving forward, find ways to win. We let them tie it up but they stayed on point, got the extra point."
Florida, which hadn't beaten the Predators since 2011, fell behind 1-0 before scoring the final two goals of the first period to take a 2-1 lead into the break.
Midway through the first, Brad Boyes got his team-leading 11th goal by jamming a loose puck past Marek Mazanec. With 2:04 left in the first, Kopecky gave Florida its first lead by teeing off on a poor clearing chance from Mattias Ekholm.
"I'm just working whatever strengths I have," said Kopecky, who has four goals in 37 games after tying a career-high with 15 in 47 last year.
"We have to learn from this. We have to learn to play if we're up, stick with the gameplan. We have to realize to play a little more defensively, keep it away from our goalie."
Nashville tied the score late in the second on Mike Fisher's 11th goal of the year, but it took Sean Bergenheim 57 seconds to give Florida the edge again.
Bergenheim whiffed on his initial shot, but rookie Aleksander Barkov — who now looks like a lock to represent Finland at the Sochi Games — tapped the puck back and Bergenheim buried it.
Marcel Goc, who spent two years in Nashville, scored early in the third but the lead wouldn't hold up.
Seth Jones, whom the Panthers bypassed in last June's draft to take Barkov, make it 4-3 with 5:08 left. Playing with an extra skater and empty net, Nashville tied things with 48 seconds remaining when Paul Gaustad swept in a puck that got behind Tim Thomas (38 saves; five in the shootout).
Nashville is now 0-4 in shootouts off 1-for-16 shooting. Florida improved to 5-5.
Not too serious
General manager Dale Tallon said the "lower body' injury to defenseman Dylan Olsen wasn't anything too serious. Olsen will be eligible to come off the IR in time for Thursday's game at Buffalo.
Olsen was placed on the IR to make room for Jovanovski.
News and notes
• Florida played shorthanded when defenseman Alex Petrovic left with an undisclosed injury five minutes into the third.
• Winger Scottie Upshall returned to the lineup after missing the past three games with an undisclosed upper-body injury sustained against Tampa Bay just before the Christmas break.
• The Panthers will hold an open practice Sunday at the Coral Springs Iceplex at 11 a.m.

How You Can Lose Pounds Fast with a Rapid Weight Loss Diet
Although it's certainly not to be followed over long periods of time, a rapid weight loss diet can definitely have a part to play in long term plans to lose weight. You may want to kick start your weight loss plan, or you may have reached a plateau and need a little 'push'
Following a rapid weight loss diet plan will help you to shift pounds, and fast, but maybe not fast enough? We all seem to want to lose weight in just a day or two when this is not necessarily realistic at all.
diet solution program, weight loss foods, diets for weight loss,
So if you are like millions of others that are fed up with waiting to see the effects of their diet plans, then you may want to consider looking into one of the many diet pills that are available from your physician or online.
There are so many options available, so how do you choose the right one? Here are some basic facts about each type of pill so that you can make your own decision as to which one you feel is going to help you best in achieving your rapid weight loss.
Metabolism Boosting Pills - As the name suggests, this pill claims to increase your metabolism, which will enable you to lose weight at a much faster rate.
Diuretic Pills - These work by helping your body to lose any stored water, and you can easily drop several pounds this way. Be careful though that you do watch your fluid intake when you take diuretic pills, at is easy to become dehydrated.
Fat Burning Pills - Again as the name suggests, these pills it is claimed, will increase the rate that your body is able to burn fat, and this will of course lead to a faster rate of losing weight.
Appetite Control Pills - This type of pill falls into two camps, those prescribed by your physician, and those bought 'over the counter'. The prescribed weight loss pills work by sending signals to your brain that you are full up, so you eat less food and therefore should lose weight. These are strong pills and need to be taken under medical supervision - they are not suitable for everyone, especially if you suffer from hypertension.
'Over the counter' appetite control pills will include amongst others, Hoodia which was used by the bushmen of South Africa to ward off hunger during their long hunting trips. Many of these pills are made from herbs and/or plants and again have the effect of making you feel full with less food.
If taking pills does not appeal to you, but you still want a rapid weight loss, then there are several replacement meal type products on the market. These will work in the short term, but should not be used over long periods.
As with any weight loss diet you should seek medical advice where necessary and also never follow a very low calorie diet (less than 1000 calories a day) for long periods.

seems OK
Reviewed By Dave T (COVINA, CA) Reviewed for a 2012 Toyota Corolla —2/10/2018 10:49 AM
have not used it for transport yet, only test fit it in the driveway. it seems a tad high to life a bike onto with the Corolla S type due to the spoiler on the trunk. But given the price vs the $200+ models of racks, it seems very valuable from that point of view.

The Inferiority Complex
(The following is Professor Bethe's testimony to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on May 13.)
I have been a Professor of Physics at Cornell University since 1935. In 1967 I was awarded the Nobel Prize for studies of nuclear reactions in the stars. I was leader of the Theoretical Division of the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory from 1943 to 1945 when that laboratory developed the first atomic bomb. I have consulted for the Los Alamos Laboratory at least once a year. I was a member of the President's Science Advisory Committee from 1957 to 1960, and remained a member of its Strategic Military Panel until 1969 when the panel was dissolved. In 1958 I participated in the Experts Conference in Geneva which discussed the verification of a ban on nuclear weapons tests, and led to the Partial Test Ban Treaty in 1963. I am testifying on behalf of the Union of Concerned Scientists of Cambridge, Massachusetts, but the ideas expressed in my testimony are my own.
Several members of the government have stated repeatedly that we are inferior to the Soviet Union in strategic weapons, and that we need to build up our weapons. In my opinion there is no such inferiority. We have more nuclear warheads than the Russians, and I consider this to be the most important measure of relative strength. In addition, as Dr. Kissinger stressed many years ago, at the present level of strategic armaments superiority in numbers or megatons has no meaning.
We are told that there is a window of vulnerability because the Russians might use their large ICBMs to destroy our land-based ICBMs. It is generally agreed that this is not possible now, but with the improving accuracy of Russian missiles it might become possible in a few years. Leaving the question of the technical feasibility aside, I claim that such a first strike would give no significant military advantage to the Russians.
The reason is that ICBMs make up only one-fourth of our strategic nuclear forces, as measured by the number of warheads. One-half of our force is on invulnerable nuclear-powered submarines, and another one-fourth is on bombers, many of which can take off from their widely dispersed airfields in case of an alert. We would therefore have ample striking force left even if all our ICBMs were destroyed.
An attack on our ICBMs would surely arouse the will to fight in the American people. The fallout from such an attack would kill millions of Americans. This would have an even more profound psychological effect than Pearl Harbor, but would have fewer military consequences than Pearl Harbor did.
It is sometimes argued that our submarine-based nuclear missiles do not have sufficient accuracy. However, if a Russian attack on our ICBMs is to make any sense at all, it would be accompanied by a massive invasion of Western Europe. The military installations for such an attack (airfields, munitions, and fuel storage depots); and the staging areas for an invasion, are all soft…

Eielson Air Force Base Service Center
354 FSS/SVYTR, 3112 Broadway, Unit 6B, Eielson AFB, 99702, Phone 907-377-4130
The Eielson Air Force Base Service Center works in partnership with the Eielson Family Advocacy and Eielson Family Member Services' Programs to expand services for the youth of military families stationed at Eielson Air Force Base. The program's goal is to aid th relocation process and to ensure that the Eielson youth population has a positive experience while in Alaska. To that end, the program offers fun, interactive activities designed to promote creative expression among the youth while instilling a cultural appreciation of the uniqueness that is Alaska. As a result, youth not only learn new Alaska-specific activities, they also learn transferable life skills that follow them to other military communities during their families' military career.

A very dapper Founder and CEO, he has a background in finance and a foregrounding in genius. We watch him in awe most of the time. Which is how we've noticed he eats a lot of junk food. He also wears a Ketto tee-shirt every Friday. And he shares chocolates.
He is the very cool, very chiseled face of Ketto. He doesn't really need an introduction but we enjoy talking about him, so we're going to. He's the Co-Founder and a brilliant film and theatre actor. He's also super clever. And he has a heart of pure, sunshiny gold. Our only complaint is that he's too busy doing good to shoot the breeze with us.
He is the high-tech Co-Founder and CTO. He's the master of cool and a bundle of energy. Thankfully, he expends some of it at the gym before jogging to work. We love him because he does proxy workouts for us too. He also has a wicked sense of humour. So if you want a good laugh, his number is...er, oh, he's right here. Shhh...tell you later!
Boy, are we happy to have Rajiv in office! He treats us all to yummy biryani every now and then! And he's always up for a post-work drink on Fridays(provided you are done with your work!). He lives the adage, "work hard - party harder", focusing in office like a Jedi and transforming into a total social animal afterhours.
She could design an entire animated film if she wanted to. So we've stocked all the cabinets with chocolates and cookies. We are hoping they'll entice her enough to make us a film every week. Okay, every month. Bimonthly? Fine, how long does it take to make an animated film single-handedly?
Meet the transformer. Alright, not the one you're thinking of. But he's just as cool. He's the definitive computer ninja. He types in all kinds of garbled stuff in an alien language called HTML and lo and behold, there's sense-making stuff to see and read. Now that's magic!
He's the sleek and lanky tech whiz with a license to thrill. His James Bond looks and detective skills make for a killer combination, we think. He's always troubleshooting away our problems, making molehills of mountains. And you know the magic wands that fairy godmothers use? We bet it was him that got it zapping perfectly. We're so sure, we'll bet all our chocolate we're right.
Our resident animal lover! When she isn't punching numbers, paying checks and deducting salaries, she is obsessing over elephants. Not joking, if you get her absolutely any object with an elephant imprinted on it – or better yet, a baby elephant – you have definitely won her over. A handy tip for future employees of Ketto to prevent salary deductions.
PS – She isn't as strict as we make her sound
Nikita Sharma must have some sort of magical powers. Yes, we're absolutely, positively, irrefutably sure there's something supernatural involved. How else could she transform a restaurant menu into a delightful party hat in a split-second even as she edits campaigns?! So we keep a watchful eye on her and offer her plenty of sweets to throw her off our scent. Because everyone loves candy. Even those with secret powers.
She startles easily. Our breaks consist mainly of frightening her with sudden sounds while she's deep into a blog post. We're not cruel, though. We offer her chocolates to soothe her nerves afterwards. We also enjoy introducing her to new technology and then watching her confusedly navigating through it. We're not cruel. Scout's honour.
We could all take a leaf from this little nightcrawler's book! Shrusti has been known to dance the night away and still come to work chipper and bubbly. We don't know how she does it. Maybe she's found the Fountain of Youth and Energy. We've organized a night watch to figure it out. Oh, she's also ultra-media savvy and Instagrams like nobody's beeswax.
This guy refuses to drop out of college and become a permanent fixture with us. He's going to make us wait till he graduates. So we refuse to talk any more about him. We also ate all his biscuits. And now we feel guilty about it so we'll add that he's an awesome intern. And we wish him the best always.

Most remixes are shit. This new feature exists in defense of The Remix. So, welcome to Remixtape: a monthly compilation of the best recent remix MP3s floating around the internet because despite the glut of garish promo bloghouse crap, there are actually still people doing this thing artfully. Because there's an actual art to this thing, one that values creativity in sound and approach over simply having artists on both sides of the remix equation's names appear in a blog headline.
For every 50 remixes that are transparent ploys for publicity there's one by a producer, rapper, band, fan capable of doing something really special with a track reappropriation. Maybe it's screwing the original's tempo and laying down a verse, taking a five-second gene and spinning it out into something entirely new, teasing out a song's emotion or interpolating a new one, or coloring over all of it with de novo beat and chord movement. Vol. I has examples of each, featuring Lindstrøm, Jamie xx, XXXChange, Diplo, Star Slinger, Holy Other, Yuck, Mogwai, Sleigh Bells, Azari & III, Glasser, Blondes, the Go! Team, et al. Play it through. It will make you want to dance, take drugs, cry. Valentine's weekend is a remixtape. Enjoy.
Remixtape: Vol. 1 (zip, 99.77MB)
01 Adele – "Rolling In The Deep (Jamie xx Shuffle)"

SEATTLE (AP) — U.S. Sen. Patty Murray is pushing the Pentagon to move forward with its military-wide review of how soldiers are diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and other behavioral health.
Murray, the chairman of the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee, sent a letter to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on Thursday.
In June, Panetta called for the review after it was disclosed that medical screeners at the Madigan Army Medical Center at Joint Base Lewis-McChord have reversed since 2007 hundreds of diagnoses of PTSD based on the expense of providing care and benefits to members of the military.
The evaluations are the key first step in determining soldiers' disability benefits.
In the letter, Murray calls on Panetta to provide a timeline of the review and requesting the next steps.

Due to asynchronous nature of AMQP 0-8/0-9/0-9-1 protocols sending a message with a routing key for which no queue binding exist results in either message being bounced back (if it is mandatory or immediate) or discarded on broker side otherwise.
When a 'mandatory' message is returned back, the Apache Qpid JMS client for AMQP 0-9-1/0-10 conveys this by delivering an AMQNoRouteException through the configured ExceptionListener on the Connection. This does not cause channel or connection closure, however it requires a special exception handling on client side in order to deal with AMQNoRouteExceptions. This could potentially be a problem when using various messaging frameworks (e.g. Mule) as they usually close the connection on receiving any JMSException.
In order to simplify application handling of scenarios where 'mandatory' messages are being sent to queues which do not actually exist, the Apache Qpid Broker for Java can be configured such that it will respond to this situation by closing the connection rather than returning the unroutable message to the client as it normally should. From the application perspective, this will result in failure of synchronous operations in progress such as a session commit() call.
This feature affects only transacted sessions.
The Apache Qpid JMS client for AMQP 0-9-1/0-10 sends 'mandatory' messages when using Queue destinations and 'non-mandatory' messages when using Topic destinations.
The Broker attribute closeWhenNoRoute can be set to specify this feature on broker side. By default, it is turned on. Setting closeWhenNoRoute to false switches it off.
Setting the closeWhenNoRoute in the JMS client connection URL can override the broker configuration on a connection specific basis, for example :
Example 9.1. Disable feature to close connection on unroutable messages with client URL
If no value is specified on the client the broker setting will be used. If client setting is specified then it will take precedence over the broker-wide configuration. If the client specifies and broker does not support this feature the warning will be logged.

On paper the Aprilia Tuono V4 R is a monster, boasting the most horsepower in its class, and coming armed with a sophisticated electronics package to help hook-up the 162hp on the tarmac. While all the early ride reports are positive about the new true-blooded streetfighter, and we're sure the slightly watered-down naked RSV4 would paint a silly grin on our face, it's the headshot of this bike that makes us cringe just a little bit — the RSV4 headlight just doesn't work without the accompanying bodywork.
While your mileage may vary, at least one dealership in France appears to agree with us, and has taken matters into its own hands. Putting together what it calls an Aprilia Tuono V4 Street, Paris-Nord Moto has created its own special version of the Aprilia Tuono V4 R with a new headlight and half-fairing design.

The Award
Yes, indeed, the world needs another award. Therefore, I have created a top-secret selection committee composed entirely of myself, and have a specific set of vague criteria to determine a recipient. The recipient must
- be an exceptionally creative individual, preferably a writer, preferably one whose work I've read
- show significant promise for interesting future work, preferably writing
- One $5 bill
- A coffee mug made by Rick Elkin of Rising Moon Studios, a member of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen
The 2005 Award
The recipient of the 2005 Mumpsimus "Cup of Coffee for a Genius" Award is.......
Rudi Dornemann
I was particularly impressed by Rudi's story "The Sky Green Box" in Rabid Transit: Menagerie this year, and have been impressed by a number of other stories he has published over the past couple of years. It is my hope that with a good cup of coffee (or tea or whatever) he will find the inspiration to produce at least one more strong and energetic work of fiction.

The 2012 Customer Experience Leadership Conference KeyNotes Report
- Authors:
Publication Date:
May 2012
In an environment where it is possible to measure every facet of every customer interaction and communicate with customers instantaneously and continuously, companies are in danger of overlooking what actually makes for a good customer experience. The secret ingredient is still the personal touch. Even if that touch is enhanced by technology and grounded in statistical research, it still must be an authentic embodiment of a company's character and values. In the end, today's innovations simply bring companies back to the place where they started: the interaction between a front-line employee and a customer.

Ten years ago, the Castellani Art Museum of Niagara University held its first gala, "Child's Play," to raise funds to support art education programs at the museum. Every year since then, a cadre of dedicated volunteers has planned a fabulous dinner and auction that has become one the most anticipated social events of the fall season. The CAM's central gallery is transformed each year to give attendees an unforgettable art-themed experience.
This year's gala, aptly named "Thank You for 10 Years of Support!", will be held on Saturday, Oct. 13, with cocktails and a silent auction at 6:30 p.m., followed by dinner and a live auction starting at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $135 per person/$160 patron, and may be reserved by calling 716-286-8201. Proceeds benefit popular museum programs such as Art Express family workshops, scholarships for "kids 'n arts" summer camp and school tours that bring art alive for children throughout Western New York.
Mr. and Mrs. Savino P. Nanula are the honorary chairs for this year's gala. He was a partner of Armand Castellani in Tops Friendly Markets, and the Nanulas were among the original funders of the Castellani Art Museum. The family has a named gallery in the museum.
The 2012 gala committee is chaired by Ellen Augello. Rose Gellman is the chairperson for gala décor. The committee also includes Robert Bloom, Carla Castellani, Lyn Dyster, Susan Geissler, Anne Marie DiMino-Hepfer, Ellen Joseph, Candace Lytle, Genevieve Montante, Fay Northrop, Sophia Smith, Judith Taylor and Dororthy Tomarin.
Prominent artist Arnold Mesches will be the museum's special guest on Oct. 13. His work is featured in "Western New York Collects: Arnold Mesches," on display through Jan. 27, 2013. His monumental paintings installed in the Central Gallery will surround galagoers with drama and vivid color.
"We're not only celebrating our 10th gala, but the 10th year of our successful 'TopSpin' exhibition series with a retrospective featuring all 29 regional arts who have had solo exhibitions over the past decade," said museum director Kate Koperski. "TopSpin 10: The 10 Year TopSpin Retrospective" is on view in galleries two and three through Feb. 27, 2013. Many of the artists included in this exhibition have generously donated artworks for the gala's silent auction.
The cocktail hour will be enlivened by celebrity bartender Tim Mezhir from Wine on Third, who will create the event's signature drink, a "Ten-tini." The evening includes a silent auction with original art, jewelry, entertainment and dining packages, sports tickets and memorabilia and much more. This year's live auction features an artwork by honored guest Arnold Mesches, as well as a pair of historic Niagara prints in honor of the War of 1812 Bicentennial. Live music will be provided by the Water Street Quartet.
The event is black-tie optional and valet parking is available. For more information, contact Susan Clements, gala coordinator at 716-286-8201.

President Obama's reelection campaign Thursday accused Mitt Romney of lying — and perhaps of breaking federal law — after the Globe reported that government documents listed him as in charge of the private equity firm he founded, Bain Capital, three years longer than he has previously stated.
The Romney campaign called such statements by the Obama team reckless and asked the Globe to print a correction, which it has declined to do.

A few days in the dark can improve an animal's hearing, scientists report this week in the journal Neuron. This temporary loss of visual input seems to trigger favorable changes in areas of the brain that process auditory information, they say.
The finding suggests there may be a new way to help people with cochlear implants, tinnitus, and disorders that make it difficult to understand speech, says Patrick Kanold, a researcher at the University of Maryland and one of the study's authors.
"This won't help if you went to too many rock concerts," Kanold says. "But if this works in people, it might be useful for auditory processing disorders."
The study builds on research showing that people who are blind from birth can often do remarkable things with their other senses. "Blind people seem to have supernormal abilities in the auditory domain," Kanold says. "They are better in discriminating different frequencies or discriminating sound locations."
One explanation for these abilities is that when the brain has no visual input during early childhood, it tends to use areas that would ordinarily process visual information to process auditory information instead.
Scientists used to think that once early childhood was over, that kind of rewiring couldn't happen anymore. And that's why, several years ago, one of Kanold's colleagues was baffled by the result of an experiment that kept adult rodents in the dark for a few days.
Hey-Kyoung Lee, who is now at Johns Hopkins, was looking to see whether the light deprivation was affecting the animals' visual cortex. "And all of a sudden we started seeing stuff in the auditory cortex — which we did not really expect," she says.
To figure out what was going on, Lee teamed up with Kanold and got NIH funding for a number of experiments. In one test they kept mice in the dark for about a week. Then the researchers monitored electrical activity in the brain while the mice listened to tones of different pitches and volumes.
It turned out that mice kept in the dark had neurons that responded more strongly to both changes in pitch and changes in volume. "Their sensitivity to sounds had increased," Kanold says. And their brains had strengthened connections that carry auditory information.
Somehow, even though the mice were all grown up, a lack of input in the visual cortex seemed to be causing changes in the auditory cortex. "We were quite surprised to see the changes because there is no known anatomical connection that is directly between these two areas," Lee says. Also, she says, "it happened quite rapidly, which I really did not expect." And the effect persisted for weeks after the mice were back in the light.
The finding could be especially important for deaf people who receive cochlear implants, says Amal Isaiah, a surgeon at the University of Maryland and a co-author of the study. The brains of these people sometimes have difficulty processing the new auditory information coming from the implant, he says.
This problem is most common among people who were born deaf and didn't receive an implant until they were adults, Isaiah says. "Imagine yourself in that position, where you've never heard sound before and your brain is provided with that input," he says. "It doesn't know what to do next."
The mouse study suggests the possibility, Isaiah says, that spending some time in the dark might help the brain make sense of the sounds its hearing.
Some surprising news about hearing - scientists have found that just a few days without sight can improve the brain's ability to process sounds. The finding was in animals, but NPR's Jon Hamilton reports it could have implications for many people, including those who get cochlear implants.
JON HAMILTON, BYLINE: People who are blind from birth can often do remarkable things with their other senses. Patrick Kanold, at the University of Maryland, says hearing, for example, gets a measurable boost.
PATRICK KANOLD: Blind people seem to have super normal abilities in the audio domain. They are better in discriminating different frequencies or discriminating sound locations.
HAMILTON: Kanold says one explanation for this is that when the brain has no visual input during early childhood, it rewires circuits in the outer layer of the brain, called the cortex. He says areas that would ordinarily process visual information are instead used to process sounds.
KANOLD: There's a very early period in development when very large-scale changes of cortical wiring can take place so you can wire auditory information into the visual cortex, or vice versa.
HAMILTON: But scientists had thought that once early childhood was over, that kind of rewiring couldn't happen anymore, which is why one of Kanold's colleagues was baffled by something she was seeing in her lab. Hey Kyoung Lee was studying adult mice that were kept in the dark for a few days. She thought that might affect their visual cortex.
HEY KYOUNG LEE: And all of a sudden, we started seeing stuff in the auditory cortex, which we did not really expect.
HAMILTON: A lack of visual input seemed to be causing changes in an area of the brain that processes sounds. Lee, who is now at Johns Hopkins, says that was really puzzling at first.
LEE: And then it came to me one day that hey, wait a minute. Blind people are supposed to have better sound discrimination abilities; they also can read Braille. So I came to this conclusion, maybe this is how they can actually enhance their other senses.
HAMILTON: Even when blindness occurs after that critical period in early childhood. Lee teamed up with Patrick Kanold to find out whether the adult brain really could rewire itself in this way. Kanold says funding from the NIH allowed them to perform a series of experiments.
KANOLD: So what we are doing is take mice, place them in the dark for about one week. And then we put them in a sound chamber, present tones of various frequencies; and then record the electro activity of the brain.
HAMILTON: The mice heard tones with slightly different pitches ...
HAMILTON: ...and slightly different volumes.
HAMILTON: Kanold says they compared the electrical signals from neurons in mice who'd been in the dark with the signals from mice who'd lived normally, and they found that brain cells in the light-deprived mice responded more strongly to the changes in pitch.
KANOLD: In addition, neurons in mice that were in the dark are much better to detect very soft sounds. So their sensitivity to sounds has increased.
HAMILTON: Hey Kyoung Lee says somehow, even though the mice were adults, a lack of input in one area of the brain seemed to be causing changes in a completely different area.
LEE: We were quite surprised to see the changes because there is no known anatomical connection that's directly between these two areas.
HAMILTON: Yet, Lee says later tests showed that darkness was associated with stronger connections among cells that are important in processing auditory information.
LEE: The other surprising aspect of our work is that it happened quite rapidly, which I really did not expect.
HAMILTON: And the effect persisted for weeks after the mice were back in the light. Amal Isaiah is a surgeon at the University of Maryland and a co-author of the team's paper, which is published in the journal Neuron. He says the results suggest there may be ways to improve results for people who get cochlear implants. Isaiah says the greatest need is among people who are born deaf but don't get an implant until they are adults.
AMAL ISAIAH: Imagine yourself in that position where you've never heard sound before, and your brain is provided with that input. So it doesn't know what to do next.
HAMILTON: Isaiah says many of these people never get much benefit from the implants, but he says the mouse experiment suggests it's just possible that spending some time in the dark could help their brains make sense of the sounds they're hearing. And Isaiah says people who already use cochlear implants successfully might be able to do more with them, like listen to music.

At the end of July, Neal Falls booked an appointment with a sex worker named Heather in West Virginia. He planned to kill her, as police believe he may have murdered as many as nine other sex workers in Ohio, Illinois and Nevada. But with Heather he failed. But with Heather, finally, he failed. When he attacked her, she fought back, got his gun and killed him.
Falls' death was national news but, as such things do, it soon faded out of the headlines. Heather, though, was still bruised and traumatized, unable to work and in difficult financial straits.
Luckily, not everyone forgot about Heather. Mistress Matisse, a writer and dominatrix in Seattle, heard about Heather's experience and was determined to help. Through other sex workers she tracked Heather down, called her and booked a flight to West Virginia. She showed up at Heather's door and hasn't really left. She's organized fund-raising, lined up medical assistance and connected Heather with nonprofit help.
This isn't a new role for Matisse. She's worked as a sex worker in various capacities since she was 19. But as she's gotten established in Seattle, she says, "I have gotten to the point in my career where it is in many ways self-sustaining."
As a result, she's had more time to devote to activism. Matisse was there to help Heather because she's made it her business to help sex workers who are in crises.
I talked to Matisse about her activism, her work with Heather and why sex workers are the best ones to help sex workers.
Most of your activism is independent, rather than directly working with non-profits or sex worker organizations. Why is that?
I get a lot out of sex worker organizations as a participant. I couldn't be who I am without the sex work community. At a certain point it became clear to me that I should do sex work activism the way I do business.
I play well with others, but I'm also an introvert, and I don't do well in people's systems. I do well in my own system.
As a dominatrix, my work is creative. Someone is going to walk in, and you have a very short time where you sit and talk to them and kind of go, 'What is it that you want and that you need? And how can that fit into things that I do, or am willing to do, in a way that's creative and sexy and fun?' In like five minutes, OK we're doing that thing. It's a very quick assessment. Make a plan. Make it happen. And that's a dynamic that I do well with, and I enjoy it.
So for me what happens a lot is that I hear or see that there's a sex worker who's in a crisis, and I just reach out to her and say, 'What do you need? How can I help you?' And there's a connection with her, and then I begin to address her needs at an individual level.
Working with an organization, you're committed to working at a certain pace. They're writing policy changes they want, or they're lobbying in a very directed way to an elected official. They are process-oriented things, and I really want people to do them. It's just that I'm not good at doing them. It just feels like slogging through mud to me.
So you're working directly with Heather now?
Heather's a case that moves me. My heart's always very involved. And that's why I like working the way I do. It's emotionally very rewarding for me. Some people get rewarded from having written a really great policy, but that's not rewarding for me.
I saw Heather on the news and I immediately knew — every woman who works alone, like I do, that's the worst fear, is that you open the door to a murderer. And every time you see a new client, that thought is in your mind. I mean, I've opened thousands of doors over my career, to thousands of men, and crossed my fingers and hoped to God that it wouldn't be one of those guys.
I've never been harmed by a client, but there have been a few cases where I have been very frightened, and that fear that you feel when you think, 'Oh my god, is this guy going to hurt me? Am I going to be one of those girls?' You never forget how that feels. So when I read this story…
This guy had a list of names of who he's going after next. So Heather saved all those women's lives. And it's only sheer luck that the guy decided to go to West Virginia instead of Seattle. As far as I'm concerned, Heather saved my life and the lives of all the people I know in sex work, just as surely as she saved her own and the women on that list. This guy had been at it for a while. He's a professional. So this is very emotional for me and very personal for me, and I decided that I was going to take care of it and make sure that she got everything she needed.
I started to call people (in the sex worker community) on the East Coast asking, 'Who knows this girl? Who knows who she is? Who has met her?' After a couple of days of calling around we came up with her phone number, so I called her and said, 'You don't know me, but I saw what you did and I'm a sex worker, too, and I would like to help you.'
Is it important that sex workers be the ones to reach out to help sex workers in need?
Well, for Heather, she was having a problem because there were some people local to her who had started a fundraiser for her, they said, but they were being really weird and controlling about the money. They weren't going to let her have it unless she fulfilled certain things that they thought they should do.
They wanted her to give interviews, when she was clearly in no shape to give interviews. She told me they had bought her this dress they wanted her to wear. They wanted her to look like a nice respectable girl. They wanted to rescue her in the way, 'We're going to change your life. We're going to change who you are, and we're going to save you from this life.'
The reason that sex workers are the best people to help other sex workers is that we do it from a place of respect for the individual, and we understand that someone has to consent to being helped, at every stage of the way.
Trying to force 'solutions' on us that aren't solutions just makes our lives more difficult. And most of the time, when you get a non-SW trying to help a sex worker who's in trouble, they focus on sex work BEING the problem.
If someone wants to stop doing sex work, then we want options made available to them. But even in that situation, it's crucial that you not shame someone who's done sex work to survive. Like calling them a victim, even if that's not how they identify, and focusing on how awful it must have been, asking for horror stories instead of just saying, 'OK, so what do you want to be doing, and how can we get you there?'
I approach helping someone like I approach the BDSM scene. There's a person here who I think wants me to take control of the situation. But you have to get consent for that. So I can say to you that I see that you're having some trouble here, if you allow me to, I can do anything I can to alleviate these problems. Do you give me your consent to do that? Yes. You have to get the consent, and you have to go on getting the consent throughout the process.
These people wanted to get money for Heather, that's great, but she didn't even know them before they started doing that. And they were talking about her on the news and stuff. And they were going to hold onto the money until she did all these things they wanted her to do. What you're doing to her she's not consenting to, so it's not really help.
I can look at Heather's house, and say, moving out of here should be your first priority because a terrible thing happened here, and she's like, 'No, it's not my first priority. X is my first priority.' So that's what we'll do.
Do you consider your activism —helping sex workers— to be feminist activism?
The concept of feminism is kind of like the concept of God. There's all this doctrine and dogma and stuff. And then there's what people do. And everyone's version of God is a little different. I'm very much in favor of a lot of the stated goals of feminism, just as I'm in favor of many of the stated goals of religion, which is be kind to other people, don't lie and murder. It's those ten commandment style things that I think we're all on board with.
But mainstream feminism rejects sex work as an acceptable choice. So for me being a sex worker and being a feminist is kind of like being an immigrant who votes Republican. Even if you happen to agree with the rest of the party platform, there's the small issue that they want to kick you out of the country. So I don't describe myself as an adherent to a political philosophy that wants to eliminate me.
What can people do to help Heather if they'd like to contribute?
We've put together a crowdfund specifically to cover medical expenses; people can contribute to that here.

Hello everyone, I'm new.
As recently as April of this year, I was sitting relatively pretty at 611 on EQ. I was entering into a relationship that I had no idea what was going to happen, and I ended up paying for absolutely everything and didn't have anything left to pay my own bills. I have a car loan ($200), two unsecured loans ($150 and $120), and three credit cards, two of which have a limit of $500 or less, the other is $1000. Combined util is 89% on those. I snapped out of it and broke free in late July, but by that time, *everything* was either 2 or 3 months behind and I had 3 payday advances open. 2 are remaining (one for $635 and the other for about $800) as of today. Today, I got a notice from Score Watch that says my old cable bill went into collections and my score dropped another 38 points to a 427. I did not think it could go any lower. Probably going to attempt at PFD for it since it's new and it's only for $164 and change.
Since August I've been current on my credit cards, but they haven't reported since last delinquency.
So question...if I remain on-time with my credit cards / loans, can I "force" the issue by asking them to do a "manual" report that I'm current, or is there a minimum time that must be waited out first?
I can't wait to climb back out of the cellar. I'm pulling in about $1600 every 2 weeks, but it seems like the hits keep on coming. It sure seems like it's harder after starting to catch up because more seems to come up.
I'm sorry to hear about your past relationship, but now it's time to rebuild your financial relationship. Definitely send the PFD, keep current on your payments and pay that util down, it's way too high. Now with those lates, it's time to get the GW train rolling. Send those out. Check your CR for anything else, and let's see where that gets you.
Nothing better than doing a credit rebuild to get over a bad relationship. Hang in there. Focus on what you control and you will be pleasantly surprised.
I was in the same spot with my first husband but I have learned my lesson and won't even co-sign a Christmas card just take this as a valuable lesson learnd, keep your bills current and start sending the GW's as someone else said.
We are all here to help in whatever way we can.
Definitely can identify with the OP.
Was in a relationship, I thought was great - even though everyone around me was telling me the girl was nickel and diming me to death.
My credit wasn't great to begin with, but after making financial sacrifices and dumb decisions, it was in the 400s.
Looking back, I'm thankful it didn't work out.
You've had some tough times, but the silver lining to that black cloud is it sounds like you have some good steady income rolling in to help you get things sorted out.
I'm guessing you got the typical terrible interest rates on those payday loans. Pay those off as soon as you possibly can - those companies will bleed you dry down to your last pint of blood.
I might even hold off on the PFD on the cable bill collection if it means you can pay down more of those loans. Worry about your score later; right now, the interest on your debts is going to make it hard for you to get your head above water. Stop the bleeding first, then repair the wounds.
As for getting the creditors you are current with to resume reporting, I'd try the carrot before I tried the stick. In other words, instead of looking for how to "force" them to report, call and ask them politely to report your current status to all 3 credit bureaus. Let them know you've had some tough times and you've been working hard to honor your debts, and please could they help you in making sure your report reflects that hard work?
I've had great success with politeness, even with companies notorious for poor customer service (e.g. Bank of America).
You have the cashflow to eventually get everything in order, so now it is just a matter of applying your money carefully in the places where it will do the most good for your situation. Hang in there!!
More information would help. Who are these loans and companies with? What are the interest rates on all of these invidual things? The payday loans probably have sky high interest rates, and you are probably just paying interest monthly.
Tell us about who the cable company is, have you gotten any notice from any collection agency?
You cannot "force" anyone to remove any of the bad information if it is accurate. Some places are far more generous in goodwill deletions then others, so it will help again, if you list them.
You may also be able to call and ask for a lower interest rate.
At this point, like an earlier poster said, stop the bleeding first.
Start paying down the principles on the credit cards. That will save you money, and will increase your scores significantly alone.
Chin up, that recent collection, and the recent lates are having a major drag on your score. If you get the collection off, and pay on time, that alone will heal some of the hurt.

> kill author: 2009–2012
IMPORTANT: this site was designed and built in 2009 and is therefore now almost prehistoric in web terms. Though I hope to keep it online as an archive, it's inevitable that pages, images and other features will start to break and unfortunately I simply don't have the time (or, frankly, the will) to go delving about in long-forgotten code to fix them. Please be aware that audio readings in the various issues no longer work — you'll hear nothing when you press Play — and some downloads of PDF, ePub and mobi versions may also fail. Thanks for your understanding — Vaughan, AKA > kill author's Editor
This was > kill author, an online literary journal. It ran from June 2009 to August 2012, publishing a new collection of fiction and poetry every two months. We made it to twenty issues and then stopped. It's always a good idea not to outstay your welcome.
Despite our name, we didn't really want to murder authors. We just wanted writing that took risks: words that surprised us, shocked us and roused us from our slumber. We sought writing that was vital and urgent, sometimes even bruised and raw. All heart and liver, guts and spleen.
Issue titles: a non-explanation
Every issue of > kill author was subtitled with the surname of a deceased writer—though despite what lots of readers thought, the choice of subject had absolutely no bearing on the content. It was merely a different way of titling each issue. Please remember that as you browse the archive.
The journal's title was inspired by The Death Of The Author, a work by the French philosopher and literary critic Roland Barthes, whose name graced our first issue. We completely agreed with the criticism he makes in his essay—that readers rely far too much on their knowledge of an author's personality in an attempt to try and gain some meaning from a work. Barthes' preference was that the meaning should come only from the impression left in the reader's mind by the words on the page, rather than from the identity of the writer. That was our preference throughout the twenty issues of > kill author, too.
Masthead: an explanation
Our masthead was as follows: we were who we were, and no more. As the editors of this journal, we originally took the decision to remain anonymous. We had our reasons. Read this explanatory statement, published shortly after our first issue in 2009, to find out what they were.
[In our final issue, we revealed that there was in fact just one editor. The last introduction explained more. If you're curious to know the identity of the editor, you can find that information here, but it's really not very important—and certainly shouldn't take priority over the work of more than four hundred writers published by this journal during its lifetime.]
